My dyno results inside!!!

[AZhitman]

WOOOOOO FREAKIN HOOOO!!!!!

Hell yeah!

I'm stoked for you Foster - You deserve it brotha!

[Craving4Boost]

pshh...we dont want him in out 150hp anyway..

[Jookmasta]

congrats on the numbers. you must be one happy man. I can only imagine having so much power that ur actually at the threshold of you as a driver controlling it. lol. If you max out that turbo and have the meth running, id estimate u have a 500whp car in ur hands.

Keep it safe, keep it clean...........

[Craving4Boost]

oopz i meant 150hp club

[HolyShiznit]

Fiz you dont' have ARP head studs or do you? Just curious cause my build will look similar to yours.

[gawath]

Yeah heres the setup:

1997 manual transmission KA in a 1993 automatic chassisT3/T04E .50 trim turbo .63 A/RAEM EMS with UEGORoss 8.5:1 .20 over pistonsStock rods, new factory remmanedARP rod boltsClevite bearingsFerra valves (stock sized), mild port + polish Cometic MLS headgasketSnow Peformance stage II methanol injection

Lots of other small stuff of course but those are the essentials

Congrats. Great numbers.

Where did you get the ARP rod bolts?

[WDRacing]

Thats friggin Awsome FIZZ, do me a favor. Get some shoes under those horses man. I don't want to visit you in the ER brother. Over 400 at the wheels is a scary thing when your grabbing gears and you bust loose.

Congrats on the numbers my friend, stay safe.

[D Money]

[SSS]

That's simply awesome. Good stuff.

[Charlie240sxt]

Vary nice, WD you got a nice race on your hands hope you can put down some high nubers with your DIY stuff

[MaxType 240]

Fiz, we'll have to get together, I'll living in Boston starting next month! You and I should have 500whp cars by then

Congrats!

Jesse

[1WheelWonder]

Congrats Fiz, that's awesome

[DRIFTEADOR]

congrats. this is great motivation

[gabossie]

It's about damn time! Congrats, always an inspiration. Just keep it on the road, 400 ponies is a bit much to ask of those 205's

[mmatl16]

wow congrats. that is amazing. makes me want to sell the rb and go pop one of those suckers in there.

good luck in the future and get that beast on the track so we can drool at the q/m time

[hysteria]

i can only imagine that driving this is like giving my bike full throttle.... or the way it was the first time i gave it full throttle... it was scary, scary, scary fast...

[bigk]

good numbers man.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I cried a little... and its not even my car.

[sil80drifter]

Your wallet should be saying "oh please put a daughter board on your ECU and tune it with LiveEdit or Ztech software, which is like a standalone but for 10x less!!!"

[boostin50]

Great job man hope i get there some day!!!

[jab11185]

geezums.....now that's some serious numbers!!!

stock 205's what?!?!?!

[MarkEmark]

Awesome job dude, those are amazing numbers. I'm only aiming for 100 LESS whp, and it will probably take me 17 psi to get that (that AEM works wonders).

We DEFINITELY need to meet up soon...the roads are all clean now, and I'm done with school in a couple of weeks. My engine should be ready around early may as well, although I won't be turning up the boost probably until june sometime. I'd love to feel what 430 whp is like in a KA.

[skotluvscars]

Glad to see a New Englander w/some feirce power!CONGRATS!!!

[sanioll]

incredible, please drive safe though.

[fiznat]

We DEFINITELY need to meet up soon.......I'd love to feel what 430 whp is like in a KA.

I'm down man, lets hit up the pike together when you get back. I think I know a couple KA-Ters and SR weenies that might be interested as well.

Haha I donno about "what 430 whp is like in a KA," more like "what tons of wheel spin feels like" haha. I need to get some nice wheels and tires, I'm just shaving rubber onto the road right now

EDIT: course, I wont be doing any driving today or tomorrow

[huguetpj]

It just makes the 2 years of living hell and the several issues that needed to be sorted out worthwhile, doesn't it?

[fiznat]

In short, yes. Whats up with the rolling eyes?

This has been a long journey with this car, there is no doubting that, but the products of all of that work cant be wrapped up simply by looking at my dyno numbers. I enjoyed doing the work! I've learned SO much about engines and working on cars. When I signed up at NICO I couldnt tell you where the starter was, now I have the experience of building a totally custom, seriously turbocharged 4 banger underneath my belt. The experience has been a TON of fun and the lessons I learned along the way are absolutely invaluable. This is a hobby that I would like to keep with me for my whole life, my KA-T was not just one fling.

This is not to say that the car itself is not enough reward. The power in this thing is absolutely KILLER. Have you ever driven down the road in a stock looking car, just KNOWING that you could completely smoke just about anything that gets thrown at you? Have you ever seen peoples eyes get buggy when you dip into the throttle just a little bit and the car goes sideways? Have you ever taken a friend out for a drive and make him scream like a girl and say "holy ****" about 593943 times??? I've had the car for like 3 or 4 days now man and I'm already in love.

There is no question man: yes it was worth it.

[juxaguy]

Awsome numbers man.

Drive safely out there. :]

[S14tat]

congrats on the numbers. its definitly worth all that time and effort to make that kind of power. now ferraris here you come!! question; how does the car drive as a daily driver on the low throttle map? is there any hesitations at a certain throttle angle? does it back fire alot? or near stalls?
